Mother in stage 4 gfr 26 taking diuretics. what do i do wait until she gets worse. worried sick. noonecares. diet nosalt that it wait for the worse ?

Gfr: What are her current symptoms? Is she able to take in adequate fluids and nourishment? Is she developing progressive weakness? If she's holding steady, follow-up lab work will guide her treatment. Her physician or nephrologist are the best judges of her response to treatment and how closely to monitor her status. Notify them if you feel she's in need of an earlier appointment .
